Organized
We managed to summit Mt. Kenya, Lenana peak and it was a fulfilling experience. Kentau was very instrumental in planning our trip and although I struggled a bit on the summit day with altitude sickness, Alex the guide was very considerate and experienced in managing the whole situation. He checked our oxygen levels and advised us to stay hydrated. I was not sure I would summit considering I had never hiked above 3000m but the experience of the guide was the game changer. The owner, Mr. Dominic is an excellent communicator and provided us with all the information we needed which helped us a lot in preparing for the trip. You will be making a great choice if you choose Kentau for your Mt. Kenya hiking adventure.

Competent and Professional
I dealt with the company owner, Mr. Dominic from the inquiry of my trip to ALake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara safari with my wife. There are a lot of positive things to be said about this company, from its customer service focus and dedication to satisfaction. I was really impressed by the professional response I got during inquiry, and the execution of the agreed itinerary. They were very transparent and explained everything well. At the end of it all, we got to enjoy our 5-day safari without any issues.

Incredibly responsible and meticulous
Dominic from Kentau Safaris is incredibly genuine, responsible, meticulous, and also highly competent. I am convinced that Kentau Safaris is the best Tour Agency in Kenya and Tanzania.
It all began when I started messaging him about the Mt. Kenya climb and after meeting him in Nairobi, I entrusted him with 8 various tours including hikes(Mt Kilimanjaro, Meru, Ol Doyno Lengai), safari tours and city tours in Kenya and Tanzania.
He always responds to every question with the utmost honesty and courtesy and carefully monitors the tour's progress. Whenever needed, he promptly takes actions reflecting any requests, ensuring the utmost satisfaction and peace of mind throughout the tour. All the guides he introduced were also excellent and honest people. So I've had a truly joyful time with Kentau Safaris over the past month.
Don't waste your precious time and money on choosing any other ordinary tour company.
Well Organized
I have just finished my 5-day Mt Kenya hike and I must say it was a very rewarding experience. I got a very great team, the guide, Eddy was very experienced and made everything seem easy. The whole climbing crew was amazing and I am grateful they made the experience worth it. I would recommend Kentau to other hikers.

My Best Trip Ever
Scaling Mount Kenya with Kentau Safaris was an unforgettable adventure! Their experienced guides led the way with incredible knowledge and passion, making every step a journey of discovery. The breathtaking scenery was just the beginning - from delicious meals under the stars to conquering the peak, the entire trip was expertly planned and executed. Thanks, Kentau Safaris, for an epic African expedition!

Dedication for customer satisfaction (instead of just selling as much as possible)
Great support in planning our trip to Kenya. Dominic has spent ample of time advising on travel choices - even on activities that I could not have booked through him. What I booked through Dominic was delivered with great care and reliability - everything worked out as agreed and he stayed in regular contact to check on any needs, whether everything was to our liking, etc. Clear recommendation!

Unforgettable African Trip Thanks to Exceptional Service"
Thank you for making our honeymoon in Africa so special! Dominic and Francois were extremely professional and provided us with all the advice we needed. Francois, in particular, was very experienced and ensured we saw all the animals we hoped to see. Highly recommend!
Efficient and very professional
Kentau turned out from the first moment to be a great choice that indulged us in all our needs with excellent value for money. Thanks to Dominic who organized everything and to our guide David from Amboseli who with his 30 years of experience passed on his passion and knowledge for animals.
Super recommended agency

Mount Kenya trekking was a blast
We hiked the Mount Kenya with Kentau Safaris and were absolutely satisfied with the organization and execution. The manager Dominic Mwata was very responsive, competent and helpful in answering all our questions upfront and organized a powerful and experienced team that made the trip were convenient and an unforgettable breathtaking event. I can highly recommend this small and growing outdoor company and we already explored future trips with Dominic. Thumbs up!
Honestly one of the absolute best tours organised, everything was just perfect!

Value for money : August is a comparatively expensive month in general due to Migration season, but Dominic helped us get the best deals possible in the peak season.
